Publication number: 20240023812Abstract: A photographing system that enables an attending doctor to perform efficient medical examination. The photographing system supports photographing of an affected area using an image capturing apparatus. Photographing control information to be used by the image capturing apparatus to photograph the affected area is acquired by inputting disease information transmitted from the image capturing apparatus to a learned model, and is transmitted to the image capturing apparatus. An affected area image is acquired which is generated by the image capturing apparatus photographing the affected area. In a case where the acquired affected area image is an image generated by manual photographing for performing photographing using other photographing control information adjusted from the photographing control information, relearning of the learned model is performed based on information on the acquired affected area image.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventor: Sho ICHIKAWA
